I finally understand why people love the JJ blouse! it fits like a glove and its so fun to make :) I didnt really want that many frills on my blouse, so I took a bias cut stript of fabric, and did very tiny zigzag along one edge for 2 times. the result is the black curvy ribbons along the buttons. This is my favorite creation so far and I have worn it thin already :) The pictures with me wearing it is a little blurry, unfortunately.
JJ!

I love your JJ! The fabric is so nice! And the way you change the front is so more simple, and I like this simplicity! This is a gorgeous blouse!

I like how you edited the frills. I’d like to try your zig zag idea too.

I like the frill you did – I think I prefer it done this way. I also like that the buttons only go so far up
